?
nota
tion of the methods (research) used in the item, if applicable
?
evaluation of the reliability of the item
?
ment
ion
of
the author’s background,  expertise
Most information
for each o
f the items above
can be expressed in a single sentence
or two
.
You
must
describe the usefulness of the item to
your
research assignment.
You
must
use

, even more

SAMPLE ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY ENTRY FOR A JOURNAL ARTICLE USING MLA
FORMAT:
Waite, Linda J., Frances Kobrin Goldscheider, and Christina Witsberger. “Nonfamily Living and
the Erosion o
f Traditional Family Orientations Among Young Adults.”
American Sociological
Review
51 (1986): 541
–
554.
Print.
The authors, researchers at the Rand Corporation and Brown University, use statistical and case study
data from the National Lon
gitudinal Surveys of Young Women and Young Men to test their hypothesis that
non
–
family living by young adults alters their attitudes, values, plans, and expectations, moving them away
from their belief in traditional sex roles. They find their hypothesis
strongly supported in young females,
while the effects were fewer in studies of young males, increasing the time away from parents before
marrying increased individualism, self
–
sufficiency, and changes in attitudes about families. In contrast, an
earlier s
tudy by Williams cited below shows no significant gender differences in sex role attitudes as a
result of non
–
family living.
The currency
(1986)
of this article might weaken it for the purposes of my research. Attempts to get
more recent work should be
made.  Yet
, this text could play a significant role in my research because of the
academic credentials of the autho
rs, which testify to the article’s reliability.
The co
ntrast to another study is
good for acknowledging opposing points of view.
In addition,
despite the fact that
the audience is
professional social workers and psychologists, which makes
the article schol
arly,
the content is easy to
understand.
